This Is Why I Hurt
My heart hurts
 And I say it out loud
 Everyone assumes it's because of the movie that's on
 My head hurts 
 And I say it out loud
 Everyone assumes it's because I ate a little too much sugar
 My body hurts
 And I say it out loud
 Everyone assumes it's because I'm tired from swimming
 But do you know
 The reason
 That my heart
 My head
 My body
 The reason 
 That they hurt
 No 
 You assume
 Like everyone else
 That I no longer weep for you
 However 
 There is truth in that statement
 I do not weep for the boy you are
 I would not go back
 That time is done
 That time is gone
 You've changed 
 And I guess I have too
 I try not to let you bug me
 Try not to see the change
 Your different now
 No one believes me 
 and it drives me insane 
 They all tell me
 It's just the breakup finally sinking in
 But that's the thing
 I'm over it
 I'm over you
 But why do I feel pain?
 Because I miss having someone
 To hold my hand while I squeal
 Because of an onscreen movie kiss
 Or a scene that gives me "the feels"
 I miss having someone to hold me
 When I'm tired and don't want to stand
 I miss having someone to carry me 
 When I'm done and don't want to swim
 I miss having a boyfriend
 I'll admit it
 But that word doesn't quite explain it
 I don't need a make out session
 Or a promise of forever 
 I need someone to cuddle with
 Someone to go to the movies with
 Someone to bring me ice cream when I need it
 I just want a guy
 Who won't make me cry 
 Or make me feel like an idiot
 I want someone to believe in me
 To believe in me and my hopes and my dreams
 I need someone to tell me that I can do anything
 I just need a person
 My person
 A person that's all my own 
 No 
 I don't want it to be you
 I told you I'm through 
 But I miss those times we had
 I'm sure people think 
 That this is all just a phase
 That we'll end up together like we would 
 But I refuse 
 I really am through. Period. Enough. The end. 
 It's over 
 I'm over you
 But I'm not over 
 The role you played 
 The spot you filled
 Or the ache that now fills my chest
 So when I complain that
 My heart hurts
 My head hurts
 My body hurts
 That's why
 My heart hurts
 My head hurts 
 My body hurts
 Because
 I want a guy
